Summer Plans

Wow hello again everyone! I feel like I have so much catching up to do here! I have been slightly out of touch since I've been so busy trying to finish school. Then I went to camp for a week. Which was amazing, and I will tell you all about it later. I am done with school now! I sent in my final test yesterday so now I'm just waiting for my final score. I'm very excited to be graduated. Soon I will start looking for a job-working from home of course, as there is no place I'd rather be. The rest of my summer is looking pretty busy. Next week my family is taking a vacation to Tennessee. I'm very excited to be doing one more camp session in July- Girls' Retreat. I look forward to being able to minister to some girls and show God's love to them. In August I go back to Los Angeles for a conference there for a week. So my summer is shaping up to be busy but fun!

Graduation - One Year Later

My parents and I at my graduation
ceremony last May. :)

One year ago, I graduated high school. It was a very monumental day in my life. I had been homeschooled "all the way"- from preschool through high school. I was privileged enough to participate in a state-wide graduation ceremony for homeschoolers. There were about 125 of us!! It was a wonderful ceremony though, and the speaker gave a wonderful message about always remembering how God is right next to us. I was also thankful to celebrate it with my family and several of our close friends, who had been inspirations to me as I grew up.

I knew that I did not want to pursue college. I felt that the Lord has called me to be a wife and mother someday. I also feel that He has given me a talent for writing (at least I hope so), and He has definitely given me a passion for it. I chose to pursue medical transcriptioning as a way to work from home. Hopefully this is something I could do before, and possibly even after, I have a family. But of course I still plan to pursue writing.

And now here I am a year later, and I am about to graduate again. This time from medical transcriptioning school. I'm not there quite yet, but I'm in my final session and should graduate in June. I'm getting very excited!! I am so thankful for all the support I've had from my friends and family, and from the Lord. My future is unknown to me, but I'm excited to see what He will make of it. :)
